My inventionv relates to Vnesting devices, and more particularly to a novel basket adapted for cooperation Vwith a fibrous rk a type particularly adapted for quantity production.

Other objects and advantages of-the construction and combination of elements set Y forth willappear more fully inY thepresent specification whentaken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of my invention. Y "t I Figure 2 is a plan view of the Ybasket employed in my device. Figure 3 is av transverse section takenronY the line 3-*3 of Fig.Y 2 of the basket em'- -ployed in my device. I A Figure 4 is a plan .view of the nest bowl. Figure 5 is a cross section of the nest bowl 'shown ink Fig. 4. i Y

' Figure 6 is a fragmentary detailvview of the means employed Vto securethe basket to anyy convenient object.

, In the drawings wherein similar charjacters of reference indicate `corresp'mding parts in the severalviews, A designates the basket comprising my.y invention, the basket y5;, being formed of two strap members 11 and 12 whichare riveted together at right angles as bestshown in Figure 2; The ends of each of the strap .members are provided with bent `edges 13 which serve to claspthe nest bowl,-

The completed nest comprises (a bowl 16 v formed of paper or brous stock. u 'Ihebowl 167 as shown i'nFigures 1 and y3 is adapted to seat within the basket A, and then to be :so securely retained therein bythe bending rthen pressed into the by Letters Patent (is:

After onenesting, -or whenever it sanitary purp is deemed advisable for v oses to renew the nest bowl, `the .latter may be instantly removed from rthe basket and a new one inserted under the folded edges In addition to the s vided by myinvention,

The same stamping operation also provides x thelugs 14. The completed basket isnow of metal into the 'form formed 'by inverting wire loop 15 ,over the until the lugs 14 are Vand then passing the conical yshaped sides f' encountered which are position shown inFigure .3.

Ifdesired, the strap members 111,12 couldv be made of wire, but I prefer the sheet metal strapsillustrated, since ing a more substantial ible bowl.VH
